Re: Any whelm for the European Cup's?

Sure. Quite ironic having a go at Scots for not having good representation in the Lions whilst then having no interest in the European game because no Pro 12 team is in. Just saying...

English fans don't seem to have a whole lot of interest in it going by the game yesterday.

More to do with the point of double standards of saying Scots are sour for not being interested in the Lions because there are very few Scots in the side and yet having no problem turning around and saying not interested in the European competition just because a Pro 12 side isn't there. Can't really have a go at the Scots if that's ones attitude now.

I'll definitely be watching and supporting Clermont.You'd have to worry a bit about their mental strength though.If that Leinster try to go ahead hadn't been (corrrectly) disallowed, I don't think Clermont would have come back.

People weren't saying the Scots are sour for not being interested in the Lions. They were criticising Scots for suggesting that the selection process was somehow biased against them.You did your share of it too or have you forgotten that?

Hell of an assumption to make around grown ups.

I havn't sen any this weekend but got a few games in during the pools and quarters but the RCC has a different feel to it, perhaps if was still the HC this new feel might still have happened as its just the way it is now.

Basically, I've run out of *fups* to give.

Whatever, imo 3 of the 4 semis were very well worth watching.

I did say Gatland went with his favourites, I didn't say I'd not watch the Lions because of it, just like I complained 4 years ago at the largely Welsh selection for the final game yet still cheered like crazy every time we scored.

Because you feel an affinity with the Lions, that they represent you, that they're your side.How does that translate to being obliged to have an interest in a game where neither teamrepresent you? Such as a final in Edinburgh between Saracens and Edinburgh.If the final had been between Leinster and Munster i wouldn't expect you to feel obliged to watch it.

Do the Irish sides represent the Welsh at all?

Re: Any whelm for the European Cup's?

No but apparently you'd regard the Welsh as being hypocritical if they had no interest in a final featuring Leinster and Munster. I wouldn't expect them to.
